At one time, Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian safety Marshall Jones was labeled as a soft commitment to USC.

Making his pledge to the Trojans over the summer, Jones wondered if his commitment came too early in the process. Six months later, California's top safety prospect is still Cardinal & Gold.

Having unofficially visited USC a half-dozen times during the football season, Jones' official visit this weekend seemed like nothing more than a formality. However, Jones didn't overlook the importance of seeing USC one last time before signing day.
